Sheriff Kevin Larkin told the Times he had to respond to what he felt were falsehoods being spoken about by associate professor Michael Glass at a Feb. 1 class at Mercer County Community College. Glass, teaching a State and Local Polices course, said to his class that Larkin collects an $85,000 pension and a $129,000 salary as sheriff, cited published reports that Larkin needs to pay child support — which Larkin denies — and allegedly mockingly offered Larkin's cell phone number to the women in the class, according to the report. After receiving a text message from a county employee, the sheriff showed up uninvited a half an hour before class ended and asked to speak to the professor in the hallway, the report said.
